Before you come
Pressure, covering and your doctor
Pressure is yours
We ask before we start and again as we go. Lighter, firmer or stop is always one word away.
You are covered
A sheet or towel covers you the whole time. Only the part being worked on is uncovered.
What to wear and bring
Loose pants that roll above the knee, or a skirt. We provide towels and linens.
Ask your doctor first
If you are pregnant, or a doctor is seeing you for something that affects how you should be touched, ask them before you book.
Your therapist
One therapist, one table
Every session is with Sheng, from the first question to the last minute.
Good to know
Questions before you come
How do I set the pressure?
Before we start we ask what pressure you like and any area to leave alone. Tuina can be firm, so tell us at any time to go lighter or firmer.
Can I stop, or decline a stretch?
Yes, at any time and for any reason. You can pause, change position, skip a stretch or end the session, and we stop right away.
What do I wear?
Whatever is comfortable on the way in. Undress only as far as you like. You are covered by a sheet or towel the whole time, and only the part being worked on is uncovered.
